Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson have the resources and contacts to help the Maui islanders whose houses were destroyed by flames as soon as possible. Their kindness may make a big impact.
Instead of depending solely on their powerful connections, the pair appealed to all working class people by asking them to donate to their fund.
Secret government manifestation pill š?
They stated that the “People’s Fund of Maui” will offer the victims urgent aid.
They gave the charity a significant $10 million donation from their own wealth.
Given that Oprah and Johnson had enormous net worths of $2.5 billion and $270 million, respectively, why didn’t they give more?
The least they could do is use the resources of their wealthy celebrity friends.
Instead, they followed the donations by offering the “infrastructure” for their concept.
I find it unbelievable that they did not hand the money to the recipients personally!
Business Insider has additional information on the outrage:
Dwayne āThe Rockā Johnson and Oprah Winfrey launched a relief fund to help aid local residents who were affected by wildfires that ravaged large sections of Maui, Hawaii, but viewers hit back and asked why the celebrity duo couldnāt donate more of their own millions, instead of appealing to people with less money.
Those who questioned why the highest-paid actor in Hollywood and the wealthy talk show host wouldn’t just give more of their own money instantly criticized the pair for their purported relief fund:
WATCH: Church Leaders PRAYED you’d never see this…
Winfreyās upload received 834,000 views and just 11,000 likes ā unusually low for a video with this many views ā compared to over 53,000 comments, many of which shared a similar sentiment to those on Instagram.
āI support Maui and the cause. But why are you asking us common folk who live paycheck to paycheck. We struggle to put food on table. Who helps us?ā one top comment read.
Johnsonās upload received 1.4 million views and similar criticism in the comments section.
Multiple users also posted videos reacting to the clip, stressing the duo should be digging deeper into their own pockets, or asking their fellow millionaire and celebrity friends to pledge, instead of appealing to regular people who may be struggling financially.
According to Forbes, Winfrey has a net worth of $2.5 billion and owns at least 13 properties on the Hawaiian islands. Johnson, the worldās highest-paid actor, is worth $270 million, the outlet reported.
Oprah has a staggering net worth of $2.5 billion, and Dwayne Johnson is the highest-paid actor in Hollywood.
Why wouldn’t they request donations from their affluent friends?

AMEN PEOPLE!. LOVE THOSE RESPONDS. TO THE NICE BLACK MAN THAT POINTED OUT OPRAH USED TO HAND OUT MONIES AND GIFTS LIKE CANDY YA SHE DID. BUT SHE DID NOT PAY THE GIFT TAXES, TAXES PERIOD ON THOSE THINGS. SO ONCE THE AUDIENCE WENT HOME WITH THEIR GOODIES THEY FOUND A DEBT COLLECTION FORM WAITING FOR THEM.

WHEN SHE TOLD THE WOMAN SHE HIRED TO RUN HER SCHOOL AND THE WOMAN POINTED OUT THAT THERE ARE IMPOVERISHED “WHITE” GIRLS WHO ARE CLASSIFIED AS AFRICAN. ARE THEY WELCOME IN HER SCHOOL FOR GIRLS. AND OPRAH BARKED. LET THE WHITES BUILD THEIR OWN SCHOOL. I LOST TOTAL AN ABSOLUTE RESPECT FOR OPRAH. SHE WAS ALWAYS PUSHING THIS SAINTHOOD LIKE IMAGE AND ON A OPEN MIC SHE GOT CAUGHT BEING A TOTAL RACIST. DON’T TRUST HER OR RESPECT HER. AND LIKE THE GENTLEMAN SAID AND I LOVED THE SKIT IN THE END. SHE PURPOSELY OWNS ALONG WITH OBAMA AND MANY OTHERS. ACRES OF LAND IN HAWAII. SHE SHOULD HELP HER COMMUNITY. NOT PLEDGE TO WITH THE MONIES OF HARD WORKING AMERICANS WHO WERE GENEROUS. CAUSE JOBAMA, I MEAN OBAMAS ADMINISTRATION LITERALLY ROBBED FEMA TO SEND ILLEGAL INVADERS AND TERRORIST CRISS CROSSING OUR NATION ON OUR DIME. THERE IS NO FUNDS FOR DISASTERS CAUSE THEY ROBBED THAT BANK ACCT FOR INVASION OF THE NATION. THE FACT THEY DISRESPECT THE PEOPLE BY IMPLYING THEY SHOULD BE GREATFUL FOR $700.00. OMG!. YOU SHOULD SEE THE PAPER I SIGNED. IT STATED. HERE IN MY STATE. BIDENOMICS IS COSTING ME MY HOME. HAVE TO GO ON ASSISTANCE. THE PAPERWORK STATES THAT THEY WILL GIVE ME THE BEAREST OF MINIMUMS “OR LESS” SO THAT THEY HAVE FUNDS FOR THE NEW COMERS. WHO GET EVERYTHNG FOR FREE.

OH, AND BEFORE I FORGET. I GOT A LOVELY LETTER TODAY. SEE I’VE BEEN PAYING OFF THE DEBT OF TWO ALBANY, NY STUDENTS SINCE MAR1991 WHO WENT TO A SCHOOL CALLED DUDLEY HALL CAREER INSTITUTE. THEY GOT FREE COLLEGE OFF OF A FINANCE OFFICER STEALING MY IDENTITY HERE IN MY CITY FOR HER SCHOOL THAT WENT CHAP 11. THAT SCHOOL DID TO AND BECAUSE FEDS DIDN’T CLAIM LIQUIDATED FUNDS SHE SENT THEM TO GIFT ALBANY STUDENTS WITH FREE COLLEGE. FINANCE OFF. TRIED TO SAVE THE SCHOOL BY DUMPING TONS OF LOANS ON IT TO FLOAT IT. BUT IT FAILED AND MYSELF AND ABOUT A DOZEN OTHERS HAD OUR IDENTITY STOLEN AN ATTACHED TO THAT SCHOOL. FEDS TOLD ME YES, I NEVER APPLIED FOR A STUDENT LOAN, YES, I DON’T HAVE A STUDENT LOAN. AND YES, THE LOANS ARE “NOT MINE”. BUT BECAUSE THE SCHOOL IS GONE. THE FEDS WERE TOLD TO GO AFTER THE SCHOOL AND CLAIM THE LIQUIDATION FUNDS IN MY NAME BY A JUDGE AND THOSE OF OTHERS. AND THE FEDS NEVER DID. THE FEDERAL GOVERMENT DOES NOT EAT IT’S OWN LOSES. DONNA LEGACY USED MY NAME AND THEREFORE I HAVE TO REPAY THE LOANS THEY NEGLECTED TO GET THE FUNDS FOR. THEY STOLE MY STATE AND FEDERAL CHECKS TO COVER AS WELL AS BEEN GARNISHING MY PAYCHECKS AND DISABILITY CHECKS SINCE. IN 1991 THAT SO CALLED DEBT WAS $3,400.00. I’VE BEEN FORCED TO PAY THAT DEBT SINCE 1991. IT’S NOW 32YRS OF PAYING LATER AND THE DEBT IS $2,975.80 WITH AN INTEREST BALANCE OF $9.78. HOW DO I KNOW THIS AND WHY HASN’T IT BEEN PAID OFF THREE TIMES OVER. JOBAMA LIED. THE STUDENT LOAN REPLAYMENT DOESN’T RESTART IN OCTOBER AS HE SAID. I GOT A LETTER TODAY SAYING THE FREEZE ENDED ON 31AUG23 AND REPAYMENT STARTS AT SEPT23. IN THE PAST 3 YRS. SINCE JOBAMA. RENTS HAVE GONE FROM $1,200.00 TO $1,400.00. SINCE DEMS COUPED, THAT’S A THEFT BY THE WAY NOT A LOSE. COUP IS A THEFT OF OUR VOICES AND CHOSE. SINCE DEMS COUPED. RENTS ARE NOW $1,700. TO $3,800.00 BEFORE BIDEN, I LIVED ON $800.00 HELPING MY MOM PAY OFF HER HOME. SHE GOT SCREWED BY A REFINANCE OFFICER WHO LITERALLY TACKED $100,000.00 TO HER REFINANCE SO INSTEAD OF HER OWNING HER HOME 6YRS AGO. SHE STILL HAS TO PAY $80,000.00. SO AT 85 SHE’S DONE WALKED AWAY TO LIVE WITH MY BRO LEAVING ME TO SURVIVE. WITH FEDS AT THE TIME I WAS SURVIVING ON $800.00 GARNISHED FOR $155.00. WHAT IS THE NIGHTMARE TO COME. TRUMP KINDLY RAISED MY DISABILITY TO $1,180.00. WHAT IS JOBAMA GONNA STEAL FOR THIS BOGUS DEBT BOGUS GARNISHMENT. I GUESS I BETTER FIND A GOOD SIZE UHAUL STORAGE ROOM CAUSE THAT’S GONNA HAVE TO BE MY HOME IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. YA, THERE WERE VOUCHER BUT THERE ARE REAL ESTATE AGENTS STEALING UP LOW RENT AWESOME HOMES AND SELLING THEM OUT FROM UNDERNEATH LOW INCOME RENTERS. AND VOUCHERS ARE LESS THEN WHAT YOU NEED CAUSE THEY “NEED TO MAKE SURE THERE’S FUNDING FOR THE INVADERS”. AND THE GIRL WHO DID MY 3O DAY VOUCHER AT 7aUG23, MARKED IT 22aUG23 AS A END TIME. HER SO CALLED 30 DAY VOUCHER WAS 2 WKS WHICH SENT THE LANDLORD THAT WAS GONNA RENT TO ME RUNNING AWAY.
AMEN! The democraps have totally screwed Americans! FJB! MAGA 2024
